This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Passive Fire Site Manager to join a well-established and growing passive fire protection contractor delivering works across Richmond and the surrounding areas.

This is a leadership role for someone who can run projects independently, make decisions confidently on site and maintain excellent client relationships, escalating to the Project Manager only when necessary.
